If you're a fan of graffiti you might be familiar with the works of Pierrot, who goes by the nickname of Scaf. He makes incredible 3D street art that might confuse or maybe even scare off passersby with its realism. Besides these optical illusions, the artist is also involved in other projects that are no less jaw-dropping. In his collection, you can find famous characters, skulls, all kinds of creatures, animals, portraits of famous people and other fascinating works.

What makes Scaf's graffiti unique is his playful approach to his creations. He poses with his finished works, making the photographs look like little extracts from different movie scenes. Scroll down for the mesmerizing paintings!

The artist has previously revealed to Bored Panda that it was his school friend who got him interested in graffiti art. Pierrot's career as an artist started around 20 years ago in abandoned factories and the street. His love for graffiti has led him to create realistic 3D paintings that are both unsettling and fascinating.

It goes without saying that the amount of time and effort involved varies with each artwork. However, Pierrot revealed that usually it takes him several days to complete one painting. "I like to have hindsight on what I do. I leave one or two evenings to watch the project and improve."

We got curious about how Pierrot decides on the location where he wants to leave his graffiti. The artist answered that he chooses the places in relation to the location and the decor around the wall. "This is very important. I take the time to thoroughly analyze each project. I have lots of photos of the wall on my digital tablet and I choose either according to the image or the mood of the wall."

In doing creative work, one cannot avoid all the challenges that come along the way. For Pierrot, the part that becomes the most difficult over time is always having original ideas. "I did a lot of paintings. Finding new ideas is a challenge. But what I like the most is seeing the result."

"What fascinates me about graffiti is painting big and visible things, being outside and enjoying wide open spaces. I paint with my dog and I love it. I don't like being locked up too much in the same places."

"With my paintings, I would like to remind people to always keep this youthful, childish spirit, and to always be amazed by dinosaurs or other big beasts. You have to keep dreaming. For now, graffiti art is free but one day the manufacturers will find a way to monetize it."

The paintings are cool enough by themselves, but the real nice touch is the artist interacting in the photos.
